At an international energy conference in Varna, she has pointed out the state cannot be involved as an investor as it is seeking to keep public finance in good shape.
Petkova has added a future expansion of capacities should not be to the detriment of other plans such the extension of life of units 5 and 6 at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, according to daily 24 Chasa.
